Old album, yes I know, it’s just that I can’t get Umbrella out of my head, and I thought you guys might want to hear it also. Younha’s voice here is so strong, and a bit haunting! I’ve seen her live performances of Umbrella, and she never ever ceased to amaze me. Can’t wait for her succeeding albums or singles, either Japanese or Korean. Anyway, I haven’t finished listening to the rest of the songs in this album so I can’t make final recommendations yet, but do check out Umbrella. Kekeke. And oh, sorry for the slow updates on anime. My attention’s diverted to something else at the moment. [Download links after the cut].

Big Bang is one of the better performers/musicians in the Korean Music industry. I think I mentioned this before, but I don’t like Hiphop very much, but Big Bang is another exception. It helps that they are a group of cute guys, especially T.O.P. Kyaa! [Download links after the cut].

After a long break KARA returns with 2 new members and a fresh look… Nah, I was kidding about the fresh look. They have become exactly what most girl groups in South Korea are: typical and forgettable. Yes, I’m a little disappointed. They stood out last year because they weren’t trying to be too sexy like Wondergirls, or too cute like SNSD, but were just hanging in there and working hard each day. Their clothes were simple, their dance steps weren’t infectious, but their music was unique and they sound great. After listening to the songs in this mini-album, I realized one thing: KARA was gone the moment Kim Sung Hee left. Anyhow, if you’d like to know the best song in this min-album, I’ll say it’s track # 5.

It’s Hyorish is Lee Hyori’s third album. Her voice reminds me of Namie Amuro’s, and she dances a lot like Jennifer Lopez. She’s well popular in South Korea, but in case you haven’t heard about her yet, do try to start by searching Fin.K.L in the net. In the mean time, check out tracks # 7 and 12.
